ENGINE STARTING CONDITIONS

NOTE

The method used for starting the engine will vary slightly depending on previous

conditions of the machine.

Regardless of which of the following conditions exist, the ignition switch must be

depressed to

DRY START: (Applies when the machine is first placed in service; when the

machine has been completely out of fuel; or, when the machine has not been in

recent use). When starting from the dry condition (drained, consumed or

evaporated from the carburetor), additional actuation of the priming pump bulb

will be required to move fuel from the tank to the primer bulb.

COLD START: (Applies after the engine has been started initially; has been

stopped before running out of gasoline and has been allowed to cool). Under

these conditions, very little actuation of the priming pump is required as some

gasoline will usually remain in the carburetor. One actuation of the priming pump

is usually sufficient under these conditions.

HOT START: (Applies after the engine has been started initially; has been

stopped before running out of gasoline and has not been allowed to cool before

restarting). Under these conditions, actuating the priming bulb is not usually

required as some gasoline will usually remain in the antechamber.
